Hello fellow waitlisters (anybody here?). I've been hoping to get in contact with an Anderson student/alum who got in after being waitlisted but haven't managed to find anybody. My main question is whether we should submit additional materials or not. Does anyone have insight here?

im2nguyen · Answer

Not sure... I jumped the gun and submitted immediately after I was placed on waitlist... hoping that the quick response showed my eagerness to get in

Has anyone been approached in any way by Anderson to review their waitlist status?

This post is part of our "Application Insider" blog post series that provides insider information, tips, and advice about applying to the UCLA Anderson MBA program.

APPLICATION INSIDER TOPIC:
  WAITLIST GUIDELINES

We had so many wonderful candidates each application season, but unfortunately not enough space to admit every single person.  If you are placed on the waitlist, we encourage you to read the guidelines below to learn more about what will happen moving forward, as well as ways to potentially enhance your candidacy.

If your application status indicates you have been placed on our waitlist, your name will remain on the waitlist until a final decision is made on your application or until you request your application be withdrawn.

Waitlisted candidates (excluding those who withdraw) will be reconsidered for admission in subsequent rounds.

Round 1 applicants will receive an update on their application status by the Round 2 decision deadline of March 29, 2018. Some candidates may be offered the option of remaining on the waitlist for consideration in Round 3.

Remaining Round 1 and Round 2 waitlist candidates will receive an update on their application status by the Round 3 decision deadline of May 24, 2018.

We cannot give individual feedback to waitlisted applicants.

Chances of being admitted off the waitlist are difficult to predict since the number of students admitted from the waitlist varies from year to year depending on the size/strength of the admit pool, number of admits who enroll, and other factors.

Waitlisted candidates may send in updates to their application to  wlmgr@anderson.ucla.edu .  This is completely optional and only for currently waitlisted applicants. 
 
 We ask that you use your personal judgment and discretion in submitting additional information that is relevant to your application. Some examples include (but are not limited to): updated GMAT/GRE/TOEFL scores, promotions at work, and recent extracurricular accomplishments. 
 Before submitting additional information to the waitlist manager, remember:
 
 Every interaction we have with you moving forward can be a data point on your file, so make sure they are meaningful and value-added. 
 Quality of information and communication is more important than quantity.

If you are on the waitlist and have any additional questions, please e-mail  wlmgr@anderson.ucla.edu .  For all others, send questions to  mba.admissions@anderson.ucla.edu .

To our waitlisted candidates, we thank you for your continued interest in UCLA Anderson!

I submitted an update via the form that they emailed, indicating that I still wanted to be considered for the upcoming class. Good luck to everyone else who is waiting!

agadodia · Answer

Hi fellow waitlisters! I got waitlisted in R2 and wanted to seek guidance regarding what additional information or documents we can provide and how can we try to convert this into an admit!

Did anyone of you get an update?

Appreciate all the help! Thanks.

Hi- I got waitlisted for R2.

Anyone hear back from round 2? How long did it take for you to hear back? Did you submit additional information, specifically GRE or GMAT?
